Testimonials

“After joining Beyond Body almost two years ago, not only have I developed a love for exercise, but also found a group of women, from a diverse background who inspire me in different ways. Amanda provides a safe space for exercise and a community of support that goes further than just an exercise class. Better health, mindfulness, good eating habits, sustainable exercise habits and all round fun and friendships are what you will find at Beyond Body“

“I was not in the best place mentally when I started in May 2018. The month of May always seems to be a particularly down time of the year for me. I was still carrying a lot of post baby weight and not drinking any water (unless it was in tea, coffee, soft drink or juice). My water input still isn’t the best but I at least drink 1L a day and I have felt much better mentally since joining Beyond Body. I am now kinder to myself and try not to over commit myself to too much. Beyond Body is also the only time in my week when I am ME and not someone’s mum, wife or daughter“

“I joined in July 4.5 years ago (I think) I joined to get all over body fit not just running fit (which I was).  Over the years my focus has changed.  2 years ago I worked really hard on healthy eating and I dropped a couple of dress sizes.  What ever I feel, tired, sick, low energy,  unmotivated, coming to class makes me feel so much better.  When I started my body did not want to get out of bed I had so many aches and pains (not from class) after a few blocks with BB they all went away. I started on 3kg weights and now do 7kg.  No matter how I feel I don’t miss my BB class, sometimes (most days..) it is the highlight of my day”

“Think I have been with BB for around 3 years.  I remember the first session I did, it was a huge step out of my comfort zone, I was so nervous, scared and while working out had to go outside to try and not be sick I am so glad I made that first step and never looked back. Yes I have had many injuries over this time lol (usually from Softball) but I still try to get there as many sessions I can. My family life can be a bit chaotic, like so many of us and BB has taught me its ok to take time out for you..Also have met some pretty amazing women along the way. Thanks Amanda”

“I joined BB at the end of round 3 in 2017 and was in a really dark place after losing both my parents. I had lost my confidence, gain really bad anxiety and hated leaving the house. My first session was scary but awesome Amanda and all the ladies were so welcoming and supportive. I was doing really well until June of last year when I got really sick and gain weight, still struggling 8 months later with being sick, I’m feeling deflated but on a positive note I have continued to attend and could feel much worse. I am looking forward to being better soon and back to where I was before I got sick. Also seeing all my BB friends weekly is something I look forward too. Thanks Amanda for creating such an amazing group”

“I have been Beyond body for 5 years since it started and trained with Amanda for 2 year prior to that and I absolutely love it. It’s so great to be a part of a group of amazing inspiring ladies, encouraging and boosting each other confidence. Amanda is an amazing trainer and great support for a healthy lifestyle.  Beyond Body has helped me through both of my pregnancies using knowledge provided from Amanda and also the knowledge from other ladies person experiences in the group, so I can still exercise and have a great healthy pregnancy. The support Amanda provides is invaluable not only health wise but personally too”

“Beyond body is amazing as Amanda is an awesome trainer! She trains you hard and encourages you, not only that, she also guides you to eat the right food to achieve the goals you want to. Joining beyond body definitely helps you in fitness and keeps you happy the whole day if u train in the early morning”

– Audrey Neo (2019)

“Beyond body is hands down the best fitness and wellness program I have ever attended. Amanda is so dedicated to her clients and you don’t just feel like another number. Her classes are different every week and cater to EVERYONE, every fitness level and every busy schedule (even mums that can’t find someone to watch their babies during sessions which can in handy for me when I had a newborn). I have been with beyond body on and off for 3 years and it’s a very balanced program and teaches good healthy habits with food and your body (not going on a 6 week detox and being starving and hating it). All the girls in classes are so supportive of one another and there is a great relaxed but get your butt moving atmosphere. Before beyond body the thought of attending a group fitness class made me so anxious but not only did it help me physically but also mentally. Amanda I can not thank you enough”

– Samantha Mosen (2018)

“I’m nearly 4 years in on my life time prison sentence ..joking Amanda. I’ve always been a keen exerciser but needed someone to push and motivate me further..
I’d just had Kacy and Started exercising again at home but I needed to get out and do something for me to keep me sane.. I loved Amanda’s commitment, passion and drive to help each girl individually with whatever it was that we all needed for healthy lifestyle and not just be focused on exercise… For me my needs changed (and still do) over the time I’ve been with BB but Amanda always Adapts and is there to help or listen to me and my problems/goals and that’s amazing and unique … Ps – love all  my fellow inmates and BB crew too”

– Tiff Gates (2018)

“I have been going to Beyond Body for around 3 years. I initially joined to lose weight. Not only did I achieve my goal, I also gained so much more. Amanda has helped me learn how to maintain a healthy diet without totally cutting out foods that I enjoy. I have previously tried so many fad diets that I have been unable to maintain. Amanda is the only one who has ever kept me motivated. She has a naturally caring nature and nothing is too much to ask. Even if you are injured, she will adjust the session so you don’t have to miss out. Her sessions offer a lot of variety and cater for all fitness levels. I will always be grateful to her for helping me get started and for keeping me going”

“It’s almost a year since I joined the Beyond Body family and the only regret I have is that I didn’t do this earlier!!  I say family because that’s exactly what it is… a family who look after each other, supporting, motivating and just being there when things get a bit tough!! We celebrate each other’s success and pick each other up when we need that too!! This is so much more than a boot camp!!! Firstly the variety of the sessions is fantastic and it means you never get bored but Amanda is there all the way watching and making sure you are reaching your potential and pushing yourself! Every class is tailored to cater for many different levels and adjustments are made for injuries. But at the front is our trainer Amanda who is just fantastic!! Over the years I’ve had a number of personal trainers and Amanda leaves the others behind! She does this from the heart and she knows her stuff!! She is innovative and leads by example. Beyond Body is so much more than a job for Amanda and you really couldn’t ask for anything more in a trainer! I feel so blessed to have landed myself in the B.B. family and I wouldn’t look elsewhere… ever!! Thank you Amanda for all you have done for me so far”

– Kellie Plant (2018)

“I only recently joined Beyond Body but have trained with Amanda before. She is an awesome trainer and goes above and beyond to help everyone achieve their goals whatever they may be. Thanks Amanda for getting me back on track and getting me out of bed in the mornings!! The love hate relationship for your trainer is real!! But most of the time It’s love for kicking my butt at training and making me a stronger, better and sexier version of myself”

– Michelle Reid (2018)

“Amanda Ingraham at Beyond Body has been my trainer for nearly 12 months. She has the perfect combination of toughness and empathy with a few laughs thrown in! She works with you both physically and emotionally, knows when to push you harder and when to encourage you further. She is enthusiastic at every session creating a challenging and fun workout. Her forum is full of motivation and healthy food ideas. I feel that she is always there to offer advice or support. She has motivated me to push past my limits which have made me a stronger, healthier and happier version of ME!”

– Karrissa Ward Morris (2017)

“I love Beyond Body for the variety in class times and having a different workout each session. Amanda offers not only physical support but is always giving you lots of information on nutrition, food choices and ideas. The additional support you receive is priceless. Her forum is always encouraging, supportive, information and fun.”

– Brooke Mahauariki (2017)

“Beyond Body is a fantastic place to train!! I trained with Amanda before I fell pregnant and now I am back post baby. However, I wish I stayed and trained throughout my whole pregnancy. Amanda is very supportive and encouraging, but tough at the same time! I love the variety of sessions we do, no session is the same and this makes it so much easier to train as you are trying something new each session, I’ve never experienced anywhere else. Amanda has a wealth of knowledge with health and exercise and I always know I can ask her anything and be supported in my fitness journey. Now I am 6 months postpartum I have the confidence to return to training knowing that my trainer understands what my body has been through and how to train safely. It’s also great that I can bring my little boy along if needed. You would not be disappointed joining Beyond Body!”

– Ashleigh Bannon (2017)

“I have been training with Amanda Ingraham at Beyond Body for nearly 18 months. Her positive attitude and support is what differs her from any other trainer. Not only does she provide a motivating environment with varied workouts for all levels but she is always driving you to achieve more than you thought possible. Her forum provides nutritional information and encouragement as well as emotional support. For anyone wanting to create and maintain an active healthy lifestyle then I would thoroughly recommend Beyond Body!”

– Tiffany Gates (2017)

“I started with Beyond Body 7 months after giving birth to my first child. I had put on over 15kg during my pregnancy so I was obviously not feeling too great about myself and wanted to change that. I was hesitant at first about joining a fitness group as I pictured lots of fit girls in crop tops and short shorts! Instead I was greeted with women of all shapes and sizes ready to start their weight loss journey just like I was. I have not only lost weight in the past 7 months since being with Beyond Body, but I have also gained muscle, learnt all about how to maintain a proper diet and have made some lovely new friends. I love coming to training each night as every session is always different and I know Amanda will always push me to try my hardest”

– Caroline Jenkin (2015)

“I wanted to write you a little something to let you know just how much I have appreciated your support, motivation and encouragement over the past 12 months. You know just how much I have wanted to achieve my weight loss goals, and with your help and guidance, it has actually been easier than what I thought it would be! I am so happy with my progress so far and can’t even begin to explain to you, just how healthy and happy I feel! I couldn’t have come this far without you! You have been an amazing support and even better friend. I can’t thank you enough! Bring on another year of you kicking my butt!”

– Kirria Johnson (2014)

“Signing up at Bootcamp was one of the most amazing decisions I have ever made. I had no idea what to expect when I first begun but I soon discovered how much I loved coming to training everyday and giving my all. Not only did I make a whole bunch of beautiful people I also had the pleasure of having Amanda as my trainer. She really motivated me to keep going when I wanted to quit and I always knew I could ask her any questions if I had any. Amanda has this amazing way of making you feel like you can always push your boundaries and exceed your limits. I do a lot of fitness based activities but I’ve never met anyone like Amanda. She’s not only an amazing trainer but a wonderful person I have been so lucky to have met. I would recommend her to all my family and friends wanting to get involved in getting fit and having fun at the same time”

– Emily Gray (2014)

“I’d just like to thank you so much for the last 2 years of training and friendship. Ive honestly only stuck with boot camp so long because you are such an awesome trainer. You actually take the time to get to know everyone and I love that you tell when I’m slacking off so you can kick my butt and make me work harder. You make it fun and that’s why people keep coming back. Weve had some awesome times and I know there will be plenty more. I’ll definitely be back training with after bubs at some point so you can look forward to punishing me some more haha! You are such a caring person and a fabulous friend and I know that your business will continue to boom.”

– Bianca Templeman (2014)

“I have worked out on and off over the past 14 years, and never have I had the results I gained from training with Amanda. Her sessions are always varied, fun and she knows each of her girls so well and when we are slacking off! Her huge heart and awesome sense of humour just keeps you coming back for more! I love her no nonsense attitude and have gained a wonderful friend. She helped me gain my dream body for my wedding and I am so thankful for all her support over the past couple of years.”
